Structural Analysis and Seismic Resistant Design of an Administrative Building

Abstract

Structural analysis and design of the Administrative Buildings of KL Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. is carried out and presented in the technical report. This structure is located at Paonta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh at a distance of about 50 km from the Dehradun city of Uttarakhand state. As per the map of seismic zones of India, this site is located in seismic zone-IV. The report includes modeling of the structures as per architectural/ structural/good for constructions drawings in the commercially available software package STAAD.Pro V8i and carrying out their analysis and designs for all applicable forces as per seismic zone-IV in accordance with the relevant Indian standard codes of practice, as applicable and in force. The Administrative building structure consists of internal/ partition walls of 115 mm thickness and has height of 3 m. While carrying out the analysis and design the effect of these infill walls is neglected. The beams, columns, slab and foundation has been designed as per limit state design methodology. Isolated footing has been designed as the soil bearing capacity was sufficient to bear the load individually for each column.
